Industry insiders were keen to get Led Zeppelin back together for a reunion tour after the success of their one-off gig at London's O2 Arena in 2007.

"In 2009/10 I was given a few hundred million dollars in an account by a large concert promoter and given the task of reaching out to Jimmy and Robert and trying to convince them to get back together," he told The Sun.

"Of course, it didn't work," he said. "Robert [Plant] just doesn't want to do it."

"It goes back to the heart and soul of what Kiss is, which is two guitars, bass and drums," the singer explained. "There are no symphony orchestras, boys' choirs, keyboards or ballads. This is meat and potatoes, no fluff."
